MULTIPLE-TRANSFER-PAD'.

SPECIFICATION-forming part of Letters'Patent No. 381,201, dated April17,1888.

Application filed December 20, 1886. Serial No. 222,129. 7 (N0 model) 7citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the countyof Cook andState of 5 Illinois, have invented acertain new and usefulImproved Multiple Transfer-Pad; and I do, hereby declare the followingto befa full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference beingbad tothe accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective.view of my improved pad; Fig. 2, a transverse section of the same with amodified arrangement of the handie, and Fig.3 a detail longitudinalsection illustrating the end-protecting plates.

Similar letters of reference indicate like partsin the several views.

' This invention relates to that class of autographic copying devices inwhich agelatine' composition surface is employed to receive a matrixcopy to reproduce the same in multiple number; and the presentimprovement has for its object to provide a cheap, convenient, andeffective appliance to effect such purpose.

' To enable those skilled in the art to which T my invention appertainsto make and use the same, Iwill now proceed to more fully describe theparticular construction andmethod of using the same,

Referring to the drawings, A represents a sector-shaped base or body, onthe face of which is attached a facing, B, of anytof the usual transfercompositions of gelatine, glycerine, &c., A being the handle by which itis manipulated, and which may be of any'usual form, either integral withthe base, as indicated in Fig. 2, or separate therefrom, as indicated inFig.1. v

My invention more especially relates to an improved means for attachingthe transfer composition to the curved face of the base A."

In this a sheet of perforate or woven material, C, is used which forms aclinching-U base for the composition and furnishes a means of atcloth,any other perforate material may be used-such, for instance, as ordinarycloth,

tachment therefor to the base A; While I prefer to use what", iscommonly known as cheese' mean's I am 'enabled'tomake a strong anddurable attachment of the transferjcomposition toits supporting-base A.

' D represent flangedprotecting plates at the edgesof the baseand'compo'sition for the purpose of shielding such edges of thecompositio from being marred or torn in use. I

E represent metallic side plates of a sector wire-gauze, perforatedmetal, By this shape corresponding with the outline of the copyingcomposition, B, the purposeof whichis to protect the same by furnishinga rigid.

rocking surface inthe movement of making 7 a transfer copy. 7

The protecting-platesD and E, in addition to protecting the gelatinetransfer-surface, assist in attaching the edges of the perforateattaching-sheet O to the base A, and at thesame time concealtheattaching-edges of the same.

. Having thus fully described my said in'vention, what I claim as new,and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

. r 7o 1. A multiple copying appliance consisting of asector-shaped'base, A, composition body B, and perforate base 0,intersecting the composition and furnishing means for the attach 'mentof the same tothe base A, essentially as herein described. 7 ,7 p

2. A multiple copying appliance'consisting of a sectorshaped base, A,composition body B, and perforatebase O, of cheese or other 1 Ic1oth,intersecting the composition and furnishing means for theattachment of the same to the base A, essentially as herein described.

A 3. Amultiple copyingappliance consisting of a sector-shaped base, A,composition body B, perforate base 0, intersecting the composition, andflanged plates D,forming an end protection to the composition and ameans for securing the attaching-base O to the sectorshaped base A, assetforth.

In testimony whereof witness my hand this 16th day of December, 1886.

I In presence of- ROBERT BURNs,

DANL.,CURTIS.'
